We could make it a new thread if it is off topic, doesn't matter to me. There was nothing wrong with talking about where ideologies originate.
Was there something wrong with what I said?
You are bringing up an ideology (eugenics) that has nothing - absolutely nothing - to do with the topic of this thread.
If the person who coined the term speciesism has some other beliefs you find offensive, that is irrelevant to the conversation, just as it would be irrelevant to a conversation about, say, dreams, if I disregarded everything you said because you eat meat and I don't, or you were a Republican and I was a Libertarian, or whatever. We all have differing beliefs about many things. The person who coined a certain term in the English language...who knows what he believed...it isn't relevant. You're taking this discussion onto a tangent, and I can only wonder if it's intentional, being that this is a ploy that has been played numerous times: Say something really bad about some vegan, in an effort to shift the focus away from what meat-eaters are supporting.
